The actor wrote she is a “proud law-abiding Indian citizen” and a hard working professional for the last 29 years. “People have put their faith in me and I’ve never let anyone down. So, most importantly, I request you to respect my family’s and ‘my right’ to privacy in these times. We don’t deserve a media trial. Please let the law take its course. Satyamev Jayate(sic),” she added.
Shetty, 46, said the past few days have been “challenging on every front” and the family has battled a “lot of rumours and accusations”. “A lot of unwarranted aspersions on me cast by the media and (not so) well wishers as well.
A lot of trolling/questions posed… not only to me but also to my family. My stand, I have not commented yet.and will continue to refrain from doing so on this case as it is subjudice, so please stop attributing false quotes on my behalf. Reiterating my philosophy of, as a celebrity ‘Never complain, never explain.’ All I will say is, as it’s an on-going investigation, I have full faith in the Mumbai Police and the Indian judiciary(sic),” she added.
